Trigger warning rape mentioned in passing
My story starts with a pervy grape called my dad. He has been going to a pro hero school years now. He's not very well liked but he's still a hero student with a license and that counts for something. He found my mom in the street and ambushed her. Shit happened and now I'm here. Hi my name is Daiki Mineta and I'm the son of Mineta Minoru, the most hated person in class 1-A. My mom didn't want me so I ended up in an orphanage. The place sucks. It's in the poorer part of the mustafu prefecture near all the old factories and warehouses. It's great for hiding with all the twisty alleyways but a terrible place for a kid to grow up. I was doing ok up until about 4 years old. No one wanted me so I grew up there. I got my quirk at four when I was scared and climbed up the wall. They put quirk restraint cuffs on me and threw me in the cupboard under the stairs. I banged on the door to try and get out. They just left me there longer. I cried out for help but there was nothing I could do. The bruises on my arms started to fade a little faster than normal. That was the first time I realized this new home wouldn't be good for me.

It's been a few years and I've been bouncing from house to house for the past 3 years. They officially labeled me a problem child and put it on my record. I got into first grade and all the kids are cruel. They don't like the fact that I have a ton of second hand clothing and that I'm not as smart as other kids because they all had a head start on me. I don't talk very much because if you say anything at the house it results in punishments so i just don't speak. The other kids find me weird. I get picked on at home and at school. This continued everywhere I went.

I had been in a group home since i was 12 im now 14. I pushed one too many buttons that day and the foster mom called my social worker to take me back. She didn't want me. That was the last straw so I went to a correctional house. The worst one they had. Narrenturm , the place was named after one of the most haunted mental asylums or at least that's what the kids called it. A kid got put in that house about one a month and I was the lucky person that month. You're stuck in that house until they feel like you have learned your lesson or depending what you did never. I was his kid and they weren't gonna let me out anytime soon. Most adults know what he did. He cracked when they kidnapped him in his first year over break. It didn't get much cover but it was revealed that he was the UA traitor and boy were people pissed off at him. Everyone loves class 1-A and I was the kid of the traitor. Adults hated me and I don't blame them. The older I got , the more kids' parents told them the truth of their favorite parents. The more kids hated me for my father's actions. They think i'm going to become a villain just like him. I don't want to be a villain, I just want to be a hero and help kids who need it. I'll probably go underground, that is if I can even make it into the hero course. I probably won't but it wont hurt to try. I have a year to train and get ready for U.A.
I spent a fair amount of time in the old run down buildings nearby and working the graveyard shift at the local convenience store. I need the money for school and other expenses. I also stole cigarette packets for me to smoke. Cause god knows i need the escape from my life. The correction house is a lot worse than any house i've been to before. I’ve been beaten to within an inch of my life far too many times to count and shoved into so many small dark spaces I can't sleep. They did things even villains would think about doing to a kid. I have more scars than even some pro heroes. I try to take as many punishments for younger kids as I can. There was this one kid who escaped from the house he was brought back to a few days later by the police. They didn't care that the boy had blood all over his face or was clearly malnourished; they just brought him back. They said he got moved out later that day. I haven't seen Tadou since then. He was only 9. I hope he went somewhere nice. I snuck out of the house via the window at around midnight and went to sit and smoke on a rooftop. The smoke helped calm my head and relax me. That doesn't mean I didn't flinch at every yell from the street below. It doesn't stop me from almost having a panic attack when I hear gunshots. I can still feel the bullet wound in my shoulder from when I used my quirk to grab a little girl that was about to get raped by our foster parent . She was only 10 and she didn't need that experience. The man at the correctional facility didn like that i did that. He grabbed a gun and shot my shoulder. I sat on the ground by the edge of the building. My depression and insomnia were telling me to throw myself off the roof of the building. It would do a bunch of people a lot of good, but i cant the younger kids need me. I try to take a lot of their punishments in hope that they'll get let out soon. It works a lot of times but sometimes doesn't and I hate feeling like I let them down. So I smoke to remove my emotion and calm down my mind. I sat there for what felt like hours but in reality it was only a few minutes before someone’s voice knocked me out of my thoughts. “Hey kid, what are you doing up here .” some dude asked.
Instead of answering i just deflected his question “what does it look like i'm doing up here. ? ” I asked for an answer.
” It looks like you're going to throw yourself off the ledge of this roof.” the man replied
“who are you anyways.” I asked.
“I'm the underground hero puppeteer.” he said “what are i supposed to call you kid.”
“ Nothing if I tell you my name you’ll just tell me to jump off this roof like so many others before you.” i said
“ i wont kid you can trust me.” he said
“Whatever dont say i didn't warn you.’It's Daiki mineta.” I saw him flinch at the name Mineta but strangely he didn't immediately yell at me.
“Oh, your his kid.” he replied kinda dumbly not gonna lie
“ Look, you don't need to pretend you don't want to tell me to throw myself off the roof or pretend you don't want to beat me up. I only ask you to refrain from killing me please. Anything else if fair game. Probably can't think of anything i haven done before.'' I said.
“Kid why do you think i'm going to say or do those thing to you.” he asked
That kinda threw me for a loop so I just responded with “everyone does.” I took another drag from my cigarette after saying that. And just let my head rop against the ledge of the wall i was sitting behind
Shinsou P.O.V
I saw this kid on the roof of a building and decided to see what they were doing up there so they wouldn't hurt themselves. I asked him who he was. He replied with daiki mineta. I couldn help but flinch at minetas name. That asshole betrayed all of UA and helped set up villain attacks on the school and students. The only thing i could think to say was oh you’re his kid. How the kid responded was shocking to say the least he seemed to genuinely expect me to hit him or cuss him out. Anger flashed behind my eyes but I quickly hid it. I didn't want the kid to think I was mad at him. That would do us any good. I shoved my anger in the back of my mind and focused on the kid. I scanned him to see if he had any injuries but it was kind of hard to see in the dark.I also noticed him taking a drag of a cigarette I hadn't noticed before. I want to think he had a good childhood because he obviously didn't. I handed him my business card with my address written on the back and told him to call me if he ever needs help or to come to that address if he needs help with something. After that I jumped over to the next roof and continued my patrol around the city.
“Denki, you up yet ? “ i called into the house.
“Yup, I'm up, what do you need ?” he answered
“First coffee then i need to tell you something” i replied
“ ok you got your coffee now spill” denki said
I took a deep breath to steady myself and said “I met Minetas kid and before you say anything i don't think he's had a good life.”
“Doesn't surprise me,'' said Denki. “Now what are you going to do about it? That's the real question.’ Like i know the dude was a huge ass hole but his kid doesnt need to be blamed for it he did nothing wrong. “
“I want to help the kid but i don't know how, and i need you to not tell anyone about this please. You know how they would react to his kid they all hated him and anything to do with him. They set fire to his dorm room with all his stuff in it after they found out he was the traitor. They would just push a bunch of expectations onto the kid and I don't want that. He reminds me way too much of myself before I got adopted by dad and pops. You guys gave me a chance to make friends I never had and I want that from him. I know the others have told their kids all about the shit minetas done and you know how kids are they'll just think he's exactly the same as him and it will all go to hell from there. “
“I know Toshi I'm not going to say anything but if he gets into the U.A I can't do anything to stop them from knowing.” Denki replied
“Oh I also gave him my number and our address so if he needs someplace to go or someone to help he has it.” I told him.
“Ok let's go to bed now. ‘Kay?” he asked me
“Ya ok lets go. “
